My Story

“I could never be a vocal coach”

I said to myself

The Beginnings

Have you ever felt like you were doing everything right but still couldn’t break through vocally? That was me. I could sing—but I couldn’t connect. I kept hearing about this elusive “mix voice” that all the pros used, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t get past the break in my voice.

After spending years and countless lessons with different vocal coaches across the country, I began to believe that maybe my voice just had limitations I’d never overcome.

Then everything changed

When my youngest was getting ready to start kindergarten, I started thinking seriously about what was next for me. I had spent 10 amazing years as a stay-at-home mom, but my passion for music never left. Even though my dreams of becoming a recording artist hadn’t come true, I still knew I belonged in the music industry.

My husband suggested I look into becoming a vocal coach—a way to blend my love for music with the flexibility I needed as a mom. At first, I doubted myself. How could I teach what I hadn’t mastered?

Then I remembered Brett Manning.

He’s the renowned vocal coach behind many of today’s top artists, based right in Nashville. I took a leap of faith and worked with him directly—and it changed everything. His method gave me the breakthrough I had been searching for, and I knew I had to share it.

Today, as a certified Brett Manning associate, I offer private in person voice lessons and vocal coaching in the Springfield, MO and Branson, MO areas to students of all levels—from beginners to touring professionals. If you’re not in the area virtual appointments are available through zoom.
